Romeo and Juliet
By William Shakespeare

When two scions of warring families in Verona fall suddenly and desperately in love, their only hope is to marry in secret, but the bad blood between their houses runs deep, and the star-crossed lovers soon find themselves forced to choose between their family names or their love for one-another. The tragedy that follows is one of the world’s most enduring love stories. Join us as Chapterhouse Theatre Company brings the bard’s beloved tragedy to the open air in timeless style this summer.
